I think that is the best way to go.

As for the center size, don't make it smaller!! The same size or larger please.

As for the fog lights, I plan to add fogs to this one too.

I plan on getting one of these since this has always been my favorite front end and there is no reason to do anything else than what I want the most.

My existing impul front end is far from perfect but I will sell it to someone for just what I have into it to make it fit my car now. That will be a different thread.

We can line it up with the mudguard if that's what works out the best. Any pics oem sills with and without the mudguards.

Also keep in mind for guys like Tim. If you want the opening bigger it can be done. One off is not hard to do.

all of our sides with mud gaurds are very very close if not exactly the same size.

of course... you have an intercooler... it will look retarded for us peons that aren't pushing 1,000,000 hp!

The existing top to bottom height is okay... taller and I'd be out... I'd just like to see it a little shorter and think it might look a little more aggressive with the top edge matching the side opening top edges... It would give less grin... However! I will say this bumper has MUCH less grin to it than most others!!! And that’s one of the appeals to me!

can someone photoshop shop that pic^^^^ and make the top of center opening level with and follow contour of the right & left opening?... A lighter color car would probably yield better contrast and noticable differnce...

Nice pic BTW! Nice bumper

BTW - is that before or after the bottom corners were adjusted?... a little hard to tell with black, but it looks like one of the first versions where is was wider?...

I'm not even sure what the final version of 05-06 looks like. Viet, Grant?... do you have a pic of what the say all end all ended up being?...

nice pics! thanks...

I've been paying much more attention to the intricacies of this grille (now that 03-04 is a consideration)... I've noticed a very, very slight v in the curvature of the bottom edge of center opening... I've been going back and forth with pics here to OEM pics and it looks pretty close, but I think what made me notice it was OEM is slightly flatter... not so much a v shape... all the pics here have been with OEM grilles, which doesn't present a problem... I'm wondering if aftermarket (as limited as we have) will look right? Or will there be a bottom center gap from the more curved/v shape (as slight as it may be)?...

Might as well mention things now right?...

Viet - a grille with this bumper would put you in another stratosphere!!!!

I've got the ebay gialla style grille and it fits perfect, atleast on the 05-06. I konw the shape of the 03-04 grille's is completely different so it might not match up the same.
